Carbon catalyst, battery electrode, and battery

A carbon catalyst, comprising

• a carbonized material obtained by carbonizing a raw material containing an organic substance and a metal belonging to Groups III to XII in the periodic table, the carbonized material containing the metal therein, and
• a carbon structure that
• has a crystallite size Lc falling within a range of 0.80 nm or more and 1.20 nm or less calculated through use of a Bragg angle of a diffraction peak fbroad at a diffraction angle 2θ of 24.0°±4.0° obtained by separating a diffraction peak in a vicinity of a diffraction angle 2θ of 26° in an X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by powder X-ray diffraction using a CuKα ray,
• exhibits a total of a carbon monoxide desorption amount and a carbon dioxide desorption amount in the temperature range from 650° C. to 1,200° C. of 647 μmol/g or less in a temperature programmed desorption method including measuring a carbon monoxide desorption amount and a carbon dioxide desorption amount in the temperature range from 25° C. to 1,200° C., and
• exhibits an Iv to Ig ratio of 0.30 or more and 0.49 or less, wherein Iv is a minimum intensity in a Raman spectrum obtained by Raman spectroscopy between 1,580 cm−1 and 1,360 cm−1, and Ig is an intensity in a vicinity of 1,580 cm−1 in the Raman spectrum.
